“The Art and Science of Microeconomic Modeling” course is intended for Ph.D. and advanced M.A. students, and is held in English. The participation requirements are well-developed mathematical skills and fluency in English. Passing the two-week intensive course is equivalent to gaining 30 hours of an elective course (International Economics students) or 30 hours of an “economics extension” (‘rozszerzenie ekonomii’) course (students of programs taught in Polish). For Quantitative Finance students, the course will be credited as an additional course. For Data Science students, the course will be credited as an elective course (economics or finance). 

The course will be held in an intensive manner during April 17, 2023 - April 28, 2023. The schedule of the course is displayed below. 
M.A. students accorded the highest grade in the exam of the course increase their chances of a successful application for Ph.D. studies, and of writing a Ph.D. thesis under the supervision of Professor Stark.

Registration for the course can be done via e-mailing to: Przemysław Mroczkowski
